Sorted , kind of ! . Took a digi pic of the photo , the photo was taken by the local paper which put together a report of my making the final at the British Champs in 1984 .
Check out the tyres , if my memory serves me correctly I ran them because they were pretty light ! .
Nice hair .... lol .

84 for sure, one of the lightest tyre available, but quite fragile.
They were called Hi Lite or "competition TS" in France for "Tringle souple" (soft structure)

That camera was a bargain
.
Great to see photographic proof they were around back then, I remember them well as we sold heaps of the bitd at Heff's, they were great for hard packed tracks like the Kingshill Ave track at Hayes
